The following arrived to my general e-mail account today. The extension (.com for example) is .nl which is the Netherlands. Last time I checked I didn't have any accounts there...LOL!
Note the To: field is blank...
Just thought y'all should be aware.

I'm forever getting this type of email, all from financial institutions. If they knew how little money I have, they wouldn't waste their time. They do look authentic though. Lee

I got the same email, I get so many anymore that they don't even scare me like they did when I first got them. Just remember that no legit business would ever email you and ask for your personal info and you will be fine.
Karen Live long and prosper
